No, Drunkery. You've painted yourself into a corner. Post whatever youwant. I really don't care what a person who behaves like you havetells people about me.

No,

I didn't think you would, after you understand the direction this wasgoing in Cythera.

That's fine, then, Cythera... and since you "don't care", I expect youwon't be continuing to post the smears & misrepresentations about methat you have been lately, either? Either way, just understand that ifyou post them, I'll simply come later and correct them, and also notethat you're spreading them.

If George is to learn to read with greater comprehension, I'd givegreater consideration to what I put in front of him to make theprocess of learning more worth his while, if I were you. Thefundamental role of the teacher is to motivate learning. You've shownthat you can elicit response in kind. You've got monkey see monkey dodown pat. Learn a new trick this year. Be a better teacher. Writesomething interesting. Make George want to be a better person. Ornot. I understand you can only do what you can do. I'm sorry, Ireally don't mean to expect too much from you. It's just a bad habitI have.

Post by Will DockeryAll you seem to "see" is George, Gary... do you dream of you twogetting a room, or something?

That's one of the most original gay lames ever.Congratulations.

What exactly makes that a gay lame? Be specific. I dream of gettinga room with you, gg. I dream of getting a room with George too, and afew other people here besides. Does that make me gay, lame,promiscuous? I dream of having congress with you both; call itintercourse or interpersonal relations if you like, I don't care.Fucking either of you never entered my mind. I think you'reinteresting people, and that five minutes on the phone, like Shaun andI shared yesterday, would be time well spent, but of course I've gotplenty of other ways to fill my time, so please don't feel obliged towaste any of yours on me.

If we're going to fuck around here, we're going to do it right if Ihave anything to do with it. Sometimes I do quickies, and sometimes Ican go all night. Either way, satisfaction is always guaranteed or myname ain't [insert some ho you know].

This discussion has come up twice today, so I thought I'd have a lookat the archives on "Somer Thompson" + "Peter J.

Truthfully, I don't know what "it" is any more than yu do. Only Peterknows what he means, and maybe he isn't even sure. Maybe he's justtrying to express something he feels in the most non-threatening wayhe can think. Or maybe he really is a homicidal maniac. I'llprobably never know for sure unless I read about him in the news. AllI can ever do is my best to understand what anyone means by what theysay or write, and try to express my own thoughts clearly, succinctly,and with intent to engage.

Talking is projecting. To talk about projecting is redundant. I feellike we've done this before.

PJ's had that explained to him before. Google truncates Message ID's,for the same reason that it truncates e-mail addy's. Because there aresuch things as urls and hyptertext links on the Web, message ID'saren't needed here.

The only reason there was a message ID attached to the quote I gavewas because I copy/pasted it from elsewhere on the Web.

Trust me, nobody but me is stupid enough to not know what you two werejust talking about. I'm the guy if you want to know something youjust have tell me no and I'll know it. It's the curse I live with.

PJ's had that explained to him before. Google truncates MessageID's, for the same reason that it truncates e-mail addy's.

You can still get them off Google, Dunce.

Why would anyone want to, Cuckoo? As I just explained, the Web hasthings called 'hypertext links' one can use instead.

Which don't always work.

One day, Dunce may learn the difference between NNTP (which is whatyou and I do) and HTTP (which is what provides him with a few vagueglimpses of what you and I do).

Basically, Dunce, a link to some crappy Web archive is not the same asa link to the original article as it appeared on Usenet.

Btw, Dunce, the resemblance between "Cujo" and "Cuckoo" isn't as closeas the resemblance between "Dance" and "Dunce", and neither is it asobviously meaningful and appropriate, so don't expect your nicknamefor Mr DeSockpuppet to catch on.

That'll be real handy if the Web turns out to be a fad that's gone ina week, won't it?

LOL! So one day soon the demarcation between HTTP and NNTP will vanish

One day you'll be able to read and post to Usenet using HTML, and "NNTP"will no longer be of any use. One day in March, 1995, to be precise.

You need to know what the NNTP acronym means George. I'll clue you inhere since you are in need of an education.

Google Groups came along AFTER Usenet. Google acquired DejaNews Usenetarchives and went a step further creating GG. They also set up anetworking structure peering to Usenet transport so GG posts wouldpropagate as Usenet posts. Still these are two entirely differententities.

So you have Usenet using the NNTP protocol. Established circa 1981. Alongcomes GG circa 2000 to give people who do not use an NNTP client/providera way to post to Usenet using HTML.

Wonder if Cythera will pretend she *didn't* know what a connection shehas to Lafcadio Hearn, naming herself afer his mother's home and hisbirthplace, not to mention what led me to learning about him in thefirst place, her obvious borrowing of his ideas:

Maybe dreckery can give the poem a precious title like he did here:http://groups.google.com/group/rec.arts.poems/msg/72bfafc12a5c3ee5?hl=enand here:http://groups.google.com/group/alt.arts.poetry.comments/msg/a19454e3fd236d93?hl=enHbfafc12a5c3ee5then sign my name to it, thusly:https://groups.google.com/group/alt.arts.poetry.comments/msg/0fac8a3fed666eac?hl=en&and george can do one of his investigations, like this one:http://groups.google.com/group/alt.arts.poetry.comments/msg/7aa7391729a9a4a8?then say I stole the poem from rain_shadow, and stick it on his'blog.'Happy New Year.

Great series...

Thanks, Will. I enjoy reading and finding these poems, and I thinkothers will enjoy them, too. That's the whole point here; to get poemsto readers. It's a good day to remind everyone that TBB is not justshutting down Christmas the day after, but that we'll be runningChristmas poems till the 30th (followed by two New Year's poems).

I updated Betty's list, above, so that it's current as of thismorning, as this will be the only post I'll send to aapc about theseries today.

I didn't know any tapesexisted of those shows, but maybe next year we can release some ofthat, or at least mine as a single, cover art something like this:
